QUESTION
Will a three phase submersible motor in bore well work in 2 phase supply?

Sir,

I have bored around 900 feet deep for a bore well, that is 6" wide, and I also have a 10 HP submersible motor. I have the control kit working with 3 phase and 2 phase circuit having capacitor. My motor works in 3 phase supply and is not working in 2 phase supply. I have called a mechanic and got it checked, he told that me that the motor will work only in 3 phase . Now,  my motor is nearly 900 feet deep. Is it possible to run the motor in 2 phase?

Is there any other way in which I can solve this problem ? Will there be a voltage drop because of length cable?

Please help me solve this problem,

Thanks

Vijay
